E.g.  to  select  channel  20  press                  on  the 
keypad. 

To  select  single  digit  channel  numbers  (e.g. 
channel 5) either press                or simply press 
 

and  wait  a  moment.  The  channel  display 

will  flash  for  a  few  seconds  then  lock  onto    
channel 5.

Note: Channel numbers greater than 100 cannot 
be  entered  via  the  keypad.  Select  channel 
numbers  greater  than  100  (e.g.  UHF  CB 
installed  as  channels  101  to  140)  by  pressing 
the      or      key. 

Alphanumeric Labels

As well as identifying channels by their channel 
numbers, channels may be programmed with a 
5  character  alphanumeric  label.  Using  labels 
with meaningful names makes it much easier to 
identify channels.

e.g.  The  channel  you  normally  contact  your 
office  on  might  be  labelled 

OFFCE

  while  a 

construction  site  channel  might  be  labelled 

SITE1

.  In  this  way  you  no  longer  need  to 

remember  which  channel  numbers  to  select, 
you  simply  select  the  required  channel  by  its 
label.

Alphanumeric  labels  are  preprogrammed  into 
your radio by your dealer.

ACTIVATING THE BACKLIGHTING

Your  TX7000's  Liquid  Crystal  Display  (LCD) 
features  built-in  backlighting.  The  backlighting 
is  normally  switched  off  to  conserve  battery 
power,  but  will  switch  on  automatically  when 
any  key  is  pressed.  To  switch  the  backlighting 
on without activating any other functions, briefly 

press  the            key.  The  backlighting  will  turn     
off automatically after 5 seconds.

LOCKING THE KEYS

Use  the              key  to  disable  the  keys  on  the   
front of the radio. This will prevent unintentional 
key  presses  from  making  accidental  calls  or 
altering  your  settings.  While  the  keys  are 
disabled,  only  the  Push-to-talk  switch  and     
the          and lamp functions will be available.

To lock the keys, press and hold the      key until 
a high beep is heard. The      symbol will appear 
on the display.

To unlock the keys and restore them to normal 
operation,  press  and  hold  the    key  until  a  low 
beep  is  heard.  The            symbol  will  disappear 
from the display.

TRANSMITTING

Before transmitting, check to see if the channel 
is  already  in  use  (i.e. 

BUSY

  will  be  displayed 

and  the  LED  on  the  top  of  the  radio  will  be 
green).  If  the  channel  is  busy,  you  should  wait 
until it is clear before transmitting. 

To transmit, press the Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch 
on the left-hand side of the radio and speak into 
the  built-in  microphone  located  just  below  the 
speaker. Hold the radio about           2 - 6 cms 
from your mouth and slightly to one side so that 
you  are  speaking  across  the  microphone,  not 
directly into it. When talking, speak at a normal 
voice  level.  The  microphone  is  quite  sensitive 
so  it  is  not  necessary  to  raise  your  voice  or 
shout.

Note: Your radio may have been programmed to 
prevent you from transmitting when the channel
